Finally on the last day, although Yuan Tan sent all the scouts out, he didn't find Huang Zhong's figure, and it seemed to be safe, but according to calculations, Huang Zhong's fastest speed would not be able to arrive until tomorrow, so it was not surprising that he didn't find any movement now.

But you can't relax today just because the enemy army is coming tomorrow, and you have to break through Kaiyang today no matter what!

The Jizhou army was extremely crazy from the first attack, and the Chinese army that had been reserved was also invested in the siege by him, they did not stop, and the wave did not retreat and attacked again, and the Kaiyang defenders withstood the most cruel test since the siege of the Jizhou army.

The Jizhou army is really crazy, not only because they know that they will retreat if they can't capture Kaiyang City today, but also because Yuan Tan has ordered the city to be looted for three days after the city is broken yesterday, such a big temptation makes the Jizhou army like a chicken blood.

Entering Kaiyang, rich and noble, today is in vain, only retreat, a few days of hard work in vain, in this case, they have no choice but to sell their lives?

Onslaught, give me onslaught!

I thought that Kaiyang would be able to perform well in the first battle, but now it has become such a difficult situation to ride a tiger, in fact, if he can't attack Kaiyang, what he will lose is not just that his father will be disappointed in him again, and it is likely that he will be completely defeated in the competition with Yuan Shang for the position of scholar.

There is no other choice, no matter what today, Kaiyang City must be taken.

The fierceness of the battle made Xu Fangdu rush to the front line with a long sword for the first time, and Zang Ba was on top of the city tower, like a butterfly wearing flowers, where there was danger, there were two people.

There are corpses all over the castle tower, and this is the result of the people who gathered yesterday to clean up the battlefield, otherwise there may not even be a place to stay.

In the face of the Jizhou army's rotational attack, the defenders were already exhausted, defending the city for days, and their bodies had already reached their limit, but no one retreated regardless of their physical and mental exhaustion.

They are now completely relying on their strong will to protect Kaiyang City, and the reason for this is because yesterday Zang Ba got the encouraging news that General Guan Yu and the Setshan Battalion were rushing to help.

For the Kaiyang defenders, the significance of the Setshan battalion is far more influential than the dragoons, they represent the highest combat power in the whole Xuzhou, you may say that they do not have the terrifying combat effectiveness of the dragoons, but they have the most soldiers, and the most legendary general Guan Yu.

With these two points, it is enough for them to fight to the end, maybe Kaiyang City will still change hands in the end, but they did their best to drag the Jizhou army in Kaiyang City, and when General Guan arrives, the Jizhou army will definitely die!

On the other hand, after such a war of attrition, the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou army has increased instead of decreasing, maybe this is just an illusion, but I have to say that the idea of sufficient troops allows them to widen the gap between the two sides.

Moreover, in the attack, they became more and more confident, everyone could see that the Kaiyang defenders were at the end of their strong crossbows, and it would never be possible to survive today, as long as they maintained a continuous offensive, before dark, they would inevitably break through Kaiyang.

What to do, or give up!

Zang Ba suddenly flashed such a thought in his heart, but in the end he gave up again, Guan Yu would come to rescue them, Huang Zhong was rushing to Kaiyang's crazy help, just like yesterday's hexagram said, as long as they hold on for a while, they can turn defeat into victory!

At the moment when Zang Ba decided to defend Kaiyang again, the Hu people on the edge of the sky sounded a dense sound of horns, no, and the deafening sound of drums at the west gate.

The west gate sounded the drum, this is his request, as long as the reinforcements arrive, he will use this as a warning, and at this time, the defenders who appeared from the west gate can only be Huang Zhong.

It's just how did he get there so quickly?

Xu Fang on the city wall was as stunned as Zang Ba when he heard the sound of drums.

Immediately, as if he had thought of something, he shouted frantically in Zang Ba's ear: "Guards, only the Guards can come so fast!" ”

Zang Ba's mind was completely blank at the moment, after an extremely long reaction, he finally heard the word Guards, he laughed a little crazy, he calculated everything, just thinking that the infantry could not come so fast, but only omitted the existence of the lord's Guards cavalry, they are heavy armor troops, but after unloading the armor, it is a light cavalry with two horses, in such a crisis situation in Kaiyang, how fast will they come to the rescue, Zang Ba has witnessed these people sleeping on the road while rushing on the horse.

Brothers, here are our reinforcements!

There was a moment of silence, because Zang Ba's shout became noisy again, the silence was so terrifying, even the breath of everyone and even the enemy seemed to be heard, and at this moment, the roar that suddenly erupted on Kaiyang City was so shocking.

Suddenly, thunderous cheers and shouts erupted in Kaiyang City.

Listen carefully, reinforcements, the sound of reinforcements coming resounded throughout the four fields.

The cavalry attacked all the way from the west gate, and at the north gate from the flank was limited, the Jizhou army was routed, and they marched all the way.

At this moment, the fatigue of the defenders standing above the tower seemed to have completely disappeared, and they shouted loudly one by one, waving their flags and shouting for the guards, but the corners of their eyes were already moist.

This is the tears of excitement, but also the tears of excitement, they began to shout the three words of the guards unscrupulously, the eyes that had lost their vitality, at this moment the golden light, the lost strength, back, and even some people have been excited to rush out of the tower, to cooperate with the guards to launch the final onslaught on the Jizhou army.

This kind of invitation to fight, so that Xu Fang will never forget, that kind of subtle moment when despair appears again, is so exciting, even if he has already reached middle age, but at this time, his eyes are also full of tears like those young soldiers.

Compared to the excited Xu Fang, Zang Ba's reaction didn't seem to be so excited, except for the ecstasy, and it felt as if everything was expected, and this was all thanks to Xu Fang's divination yesterday.

But Xu Fang, who knew the truth, understood that these were all fake, so he was extremely excited, and Zang Ba was a general, and even in the end, under the petition of the soldiers, he did not forget to give an order to let the remaining more than 3,000 people go out of the city to cooperate with the guards.

"Open the north gate, the whole army will attack, and the guards will completely defeat Yuan Tan!"

Zang Ba issued the last military order, and then took the lead to carry a spear downstairs, turned over and rode on the horse with the soldiers to kill out of the city, the Jizhou army that had been desperately attacking for days was suddenly attacked by three thousand guards, under the sudden change in the situation, they did not react in time, the defeat was like a mountain, if at this time can be replaced by an excellent general, even Yan Liang, maybe can make a timely response, although defeated, will not be defeated so thoroughly, but Yuan Tan's response is a little slow, so, In the face of the already amazing combat effectiveness of the guards, the Jizhou army became a rout, and its morale dropped to freezing point.

In the middle of the fight, Zang Ba saw a familiar figure at the front from afar, Du Yi, holding a spear in his hand, sat down on Karasuma's high-headed horse, this was the first time he saw the guards fighting in the state of light cavalry after unarmouring, I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the guards is really terrifying, maybe they will have a lot of voices when they compete with the dragoon army for the position of who is the first cavalry, but at this moment, Zang Ba is sure that they are the cavalry with the highest combat effectiveness in their eyes, and there is no one.

One by one, they brandished the Pu knife and chased and killed the Jizhou army to their heart's content.

Although it is impossible for them to play a key role in going out of the city, and they will not be able to catch up with the Jizhou army at all, this is just an attitude.

Fight alongside the Guards!

There is a reason why Du Yi was able to stand out from the Liaodong Army in a short period of time, if the Guards appeared in the form of heavy cavalry, it was possible to kill the Jizhou Army by surprise, but it would definitely not be able to reap the effect of today, the continuous combat effectiveness of the Guards after changing into heavy armor was too weak, maybe after defeating the Jizhou Army, there was nothing they could do anymore, they could only watch them flee one by one, but the light cavalry was different, the burden on them and the war horses was lighter, after hitting the Jizhou Army by surprise, can also continue to attack so that the Jizhou army can not organize an effective counterattack, and this can be said to be the reason why they were able to win a great victory in this battle, otherwise if Yuan Tan has a respite to regroup his troops, I am afraid that even they will be in danger.

And now they will continue to pursue, completely dispel the possibility of Yuan Tan wanting to collect the remnants, it is best to drive them directly to Ju County, and at that time, it will be the two armies to crusade against Yan Liang together.

Guan Yu is not far from here, he will definitely be able to arrive in time, as for Huang Zhong is rushing back as fast as possible, they want to completely defeat Yan Liang, and at the worst they must drive him back to Qingzhou, to ensure that their main force cannot be stationed in Chengyang County, only to ensure that the Jizhou army no longer has any threat to Langya County, Guan Yu can turn around and rush to the aid of Pei County.

At this moment, after several times to collect the defeated army, Yuan Tan could only order the troops to withdraw east to Ju County, and under Du Yi's pursuit, Yuan Tan brought 50,000 people, only less than 20,000 people fled back.

The Battle of Kaiyang was completely over, and this only kicked off the next Juxian War.

Although Guan Yu's plan was deviated, it was all easier because of Kaiyang's big victory.

Du Yi chose to retreat after the troops came to the city, and did not confront Yan Liang's main force head-on, retreated, and chose to wait patiently for Huang Zhong, and Guan Yu also began to march quickly after the Battle of Kaiyang, and they are now less than a few dozen miles away from Juxian.

But Guan Yu did not rush to attack, but got in touch with Du Yi, if this battle was to attack the city, it would not be his first choice, so he hoped that Du Yi and Huang Zhong could take on the heavy task of attracting Yan Liang to come out and annihilate him outside the city in one fell swoop.

This temptation was a little difficult, but Du Yi was willing to try it, but before that, he needed to wait for Huang Zhong to arrive.

However, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Yan Liang could be lured out after that, so he had to let Guan Yu prepare with both hands, Guan Yu naturally knew that if Yan Liang didn't go out of the city, then they would besiege the city, he didn't believe it, Yan Liang dared to hoard all the military food in Ju County, and then he didn't believe that Yan Liang would not break through!

Although the siege of the city is very risky, and it may even cause Pei County to be very passive, but Yan Liang's 100,000 army only lost 20,000 people after all, and rashly attacking the city, not to mention how big the chance of victory is, but the loss will definitely not be small.

However, the final result is now very good, under the premise of Kaiyang's defeat, Yan Liang actually has no other choice, especially after the people come to the door, Yan Liang can only choose to fight, of course, he did not come out of the nest, but the dispatch of 50,000 horses to fight Huang Zhong to the death still shows that he has made a lot of determination.

Yan Liang suddenly launched a fierce attack on the large camp of the Langya army ten miles away.

came suddenly, but everything was planned, although the Jizhou army did not take the initiative because of their provocation, but after all, they attracted it, and conveyed such news to Guan Yu as soon as possible, and at the same time, Huang Zhong and Zang Ba's Langya army crossbowmen began to defend against Yan Liang's Jizhou army attack, and the three thousand guards have been strictly ordered by him to stand still for the time being, they don't need to win now, as long as they can drag Yan Liang is enough, after a day of fighting, Guan Yu will arrive.

From dark to dawn, Huang Zhong dealt with the side successfully, although Yan Liang frantically attacked the camp of the Langya army, but under the attack of the Qingzhou army's crossbows, the attack of the Jizhou army did not play any role, but paid a lot of casualties, and around the camp, corpses were everywhere.

Kaiyang was defeated, and the attack on the camp was stubbornly resisted, which was absolutely intolerable for Yan Liang, and he intensified the attack, he must take the camp of the Langya army, and let this battle become a victory because of Yuan Tan's defeat.

Otherwise

If he, the main general, and Yuan Tan led the troops with the same result, it would be a joke.

For the sake of fame, he also had to win the final victory.

After paying the price of thousands of casualties, the Jizhou army finally opened a gap leading to the camp of the Langya army, and rushed into the camp along the gap, but for such a long time, Huang Zhong had already arranged it in the barracks, and when they entered the camp, Du Yi and his guards were already ready to go, and put on the heavily armored guards, just like a city wall, a advance, all the Jizhou troops were blocked in front of them, and they could not recommend a moment.

The dust was all over the sky, but the real slaughter had just begun, and the Pu knife in their hands became a hook and sickle for their lives, and in just a moment, a large area of the Jizhou army was cut down and killed in front of them.

The open gap advanced slowly, and Yan Liang changed to other directions, but the Jizhou army in other directions encountered more fierce resistance, long-distance long weapons, short-range short blades, plus the blows of bows and crossbows and arrows, this dark night battle made Yan Liang pay a more tragic price than he imagined.
